Hoover Middle School has a long tradition of outstanding music programs. Large numbers of students participate in our instrumental and vocal programs.
The sixth grade band program will be divided into three classes: brass, woodwinds, and percussion. In seventh and eighth grades the brass and woodwinds will be combined, percussion will be separate.
The sixth grade orchestra meets in two classes: Upper strings and Lower strings. The seventh and eighth grade orchestras meet in either an ensemble or a small group class. We will perform by grade levels.
Hoover ensembles include grade-level bands, choirs and orchestras as well as a Jazz Band. We also offer additional opportunities for interested students to take part in solos and ensemble competition.
Music meets daily. Students that are dual enrolled band/orchestra and choir will meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with instruments and Tuesday and Thursday in choir. If a 6th grade student does not want to be involved in choir or instrumental music they will be enrolled in a general music class.
